BOUSES NOT WOBTH KEEPIXO,
The depression in prices of horses
makes it still more important than it
has been in previous rears that the
farmer who has superfluous horses shall,
after ins fall work is done, dispose of
the poorest of them, to save winter
keeping For a grest many such
horses, killing and skinning themr
and selling the hide for what it will
"bring, is the fairest way to get rid of
them. An old horse, In the fall of
the year, is a bad gift to receive, un
less the man receiving it promptly
converts ii into money by sellincr its
hide and using the meat and bones
after cooking as food for fowls. But
we never saw an old horse for which
somebody was not willing to pay more
than it was worth. We had 6uch an
old horse once which we sold in the
fall to a man who was cutting and
hauling ice during the winter. The
price was only $25 and the whole
amount was trusted. But as the horse
died before spring, as we expected it
would, tho note unpaid was returned
to its maker. The man probably did
not lose anything, but if he had to pay
the note he would.
STABTING A3 OBCIIABO.
The ground for an orchard should
be well and deeply cultivated and free
from weeds, well drained, if the soil
requires it, and moist soils are better
for draining except sandy or light
gravelly soils with a light subsoil.
Such land may not require draining,
but in every case it should be well
worked and pulverized and enriched.
The work of preparation must be done
during the summer so as to be ready
for fall or spring planting. Planting
in the spring is preferred, which will
enable the trees to take firm hold of
the earth and to resist the frost of
next winter ; but planting may be done
successfully in the autumn by protect
ing the trees so as to prevent the frost
from heaving or misplacing them.
Select young, healthy and vigorous
trees, and from a reliable nurseryman,
and if possible from a soil similar to
that in which you intend to plant your
orchard. The different kinds of apples
will depend upon your own choice and
the suitability of sou and climate. I
advise that the selection be made from
the old, tried and reliable kinds.
The distance apart should not be
less than thirty feet, so as to allow the
trees room to spread their branches
and to form a low and spreading head.
Close planting has a tendency to force
trees to run up, and preventing the
fruit from obtaining its proper color
from the sun, and making it more
difficult to gather the fruit. At the
distance of thirty feet apart it will re
quire twenty-nine trees to the acre.
Before planting the trees, remove all
bruised and broken roots by cutting
clean; with a sharp knife. Lay out
your ground in straight lines, so that
your trees will be m line each way and
at equal distances, thirty feet apart.
William Giay, in Farmers Review.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SILO.
xne suo win enable a farmer or
dairyman to preserve a greater qnan
tity of the food materials of the original
fodder, be it either corn, clover, sorg
hum, rye, oats, or other grasses all
of which may be ensilaged with com
plete enccess for the feeding of ani
ma Is, than is possible by any other
system of preservation now known.
When the entire corn crop is in the
silo, there can be no possible bleach
ing and consequent loss oi nutrition
by the rains of fall or the snows of the
winter. It will take very much less
room to store the ensilage from a given
area than the hay from the same area.
Hay as it is ordinarily placed in the
mow will occupy slightly more than
three times as much room as the same
quantity of food material when stored
in the silo. Then think of all the
extra labor required to store this
extra bulk, of the labor required to
feed it, and the immense expenditure
of vital force required of the animal
economy to extract the same amount
of nutrition from it. Then, too, an
acre of corn can be placed in the silo
at a less cost than is required to store
the fame as dry fo ider.
oiiage win not barn, is not com
bustible, and in addition to cheaper
insurance for this reason, in the event
of fire which might destroy all your
buildings, the ensilage would remain
intact, and your winter supply of food
would be saved. Too much credit
can not be given to the succulence of
ensilage, wmcn means its greenness
and freshness, which makes it highly
digestible and greatly appreciated by
stock in the dead of winter. The silo
aflorda an even supply of nutritious
food during the whole winter. A
positive advantage ' to dairy cows
which are quite susceptible to change
in the food rations.
While every kind of farming that
bas to do with the maintenance of live
atock may be greatly benefited by the
use of eilo, the profits to be derived
from its use are perhaps greatest when
employed in dairy farming. The ex
perience of many dairymen the coun
try over places tho gain in milk and
butter' from the use of silage during
the winter months at twenty-five to
thirtv per cent, over the feeding of
dry feed. When one stops to consider
that the price of butter in the winter
is frequently double what it is in the
summer, a still further advantage may
be attributed to the use of silage. It

per cent, more stock can be kept upon
a given area of land by the aid of the

ECONOMT 02T THE FARM.
One of the best farmers in this sec
lion of the country (Broome County,
New Tork) writes E. L. Vincent, ones
said that the secret of his success was
that he began early in life to save in
every direction he could. The little
savings thus made from time to tim
enabled him to build up his business
in every direction; and long before
bis death he came to be classed among
the few really prosperous farmers of
his locality.
Being desirous to know in what
direction this man's economy led, I
made a few mental notes of his plaos
as shown by the farm he owned, and I
soon discovered that his saving was
not of the class usually seen in the
country ; for he had good barns for
his stock. The wind did not whistle
through a dozen cracks and crevices,
causing his cattle to shiver, and calling
for larger outlays for fodder and grain
to keep them through our long North
ern winters. He had plenty of build
ings for storing the implements used
about his farm. No wagons, sieighs
or tools lay out of doors, rasting or
rotting in the summer rain. All these
buildings were kept in a good state of
repair and the fences showed signs of
oarefnl attention. His work was done
promptly in season. No ripened
gram went to seed, and no weeds grew
rank among his crops. In buying he
was careful to get only the best of
everything, and in selling he estab
lished a reputation for fair dealing.
His word was as good as his bond.
It might seem as if all this indicated
a lavish expenditure or. time and
money, instead of economy; but it
may be safely ret down as a fact that
a farmer cannot waste his resources
more surely and effectually than by
being niggardly toward his land, his
crops and his buildings. A half
starved farm, soil fairly crying out for
more liberal feeding and cattle eking
out a miserable existence in open
barns or barren pastures are proof
positive that their owners are exceed
ingly wasteful all along the line. It
pays to be generous with the farm.
The return comes surely and soon.
IBOST AND PLAST3.
If one can in tome way afford pro
tection to the more tender flowering
plants such as are injured by a slight
touch of Jaak Frost the beauty of the
garden will be enjoyed for a longer
period; This may be accomplished by
the use of a screen of cheese cloth
stretched over and a little above the
beds at night time when tho signs in
dicate frost. Thts thin network will
effectually prevent the cold from set
tling, acting in respeet to frost as the
Davy lamp does to the gases in coal
mines. Where the plants are not of
any great height, this means is very
practicable, and has been used to much
advantage by one grower or violets.
His plants are in cold frames, and for
convenience of rolling up the cheese
cloth during daytime an appliance like
a windlass may be used a cyclinder
upon which the cheesecloth may be
wound.
'While dealing with protection from
frost, it will not be out of place to con
sider how frost does its injurious work
and therefrom to draw a lesson. In
cases of frost bite the usual and most
efficacious remedy is rubbing with
snow, although at first sight that would
seem no remedy at all. In point of
fact, however, the heat engered by
the friction brings about a very gradual
permeation by warmth of the frozen
member, so gradual, indeed, that the
rupture of the frozen tissues which
severe friction, unaccompanied by the
modifying effect of tho cold snow.
would inevitably bring about is
avoided, and with time and care the
member is thawed, circulation is re
earned, and its functions continue.
Now, with plants, this absolute need.
of extremly slow thawing is often over
looked, and it is highly probable that
a very large percentage of the loss in
curred by intenso frost would be
avoided if more attention were paid
to this point. We often notice that
after a frost the leaves of even the
hardiest shrubs are black, as if burnt
If we examine one of the shrubs dur
ing the froBt we shall find not only it,
but the soil also, absolutely frozen,
and the circulation of the sap in the
roots and branches at a standstill. In
the early morning it i3 probably white
with hoar frost ; the sun rieec, and in
a very short space of time a heat many
degrees above freezing is beating upon
those leave?, the hoar frost melts at
once, ana as tne geniai warmtn pene
trates the tissues a local circulation is
set up and transpiration begins. In a
very brief space, however, the rest of
the plant being frozen, tne circulating
moisture is exhausted and the leaf
dies.
A slow, gradual and general rise of
temperature, however, instead of a
rapid and local one, would thaw the
plant all over, and thus permit the
loss from transpiration to be made up
from other parts of the plant. It is
probable that the greatest danger
exists in thawing the foliage before
the roots, for it is quite obvious that
if the latter are not in a condition to
supply the leaves with moisture when
these latter are thawed and demand it,
collapse must ensue. 'It is clear,
therefore, that frozen pot plants are
.best thawed by being dipped in cold
water a few degrees only above the
freezing point. -Thia will gradually
Tjenetrate and thaw the soil, and at
the same time prevent the foilage be
ing dried up iu the way above indicat
ed. while tho same plant, which so re
su8citated would be absolutely none
the worse, would, if thawed by being
placed in a warm . room or conserva
torr, simply shrivel and die.--Ameri
